Ports & Projects: Your Guide for 2017 Caribbean Cruising Season

Happy cruising season! We know that the best way to re-energize the Caribbean we love is to get boaters back to the islands. We also know that finding information about current port statuses and ways to help is daunting. So we solved the problem ourselves!

A big thanks to our friends at Janeiro Digital, a digital consultancy that designs and builds enterprise software, for donating their team’s time to build our amazing interactive map. In addition to digitally transforming some of the largest organizations in the world, they also possess a strong culture of giving back. CEO Jonathan Bingham is an avid sailor who spends part of the winter sailing the Caribbean islands. He didn’t hesitate to help launch Sailors Helping.

Rally to Rebuild - JANUARY 2018

We, and hundreds of other boaters, want to help the communities we hold so dear become vibrant once again. This winter, in conjunction with some amazing partners in the sailing community, Sailors Helping will be organizing the Rally to Rebuild.

Our goal is simple. We work with local boating communities on each island to identify the people and local businesses that don’t have the support they need to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. We deliver the materials needed to get these individuals and independent businesses back on their feet.

Sailors Helping will coordinate volunteer opportunities for the cruising community to pick up a shovel, a hammer, or a trowel and help our island friends rebuild, one brick at a time.

As we plan this event, there's still plenty to do: Find a project to support as you cruise, coordinate with other helpers on our Facebook Group or ask your Caribbean winter rally coordinator what Sailors Helping projects are planned for your community -- we're working with most boating organizations to provide opportunities this season.
